Unfortunately our trip was cancelled, but we couldn’t get ahold of anyone to cancel this booking, so we paid for no experience. I did try for 2 days with no luck getting through.

Good overview of the island and introduction to the main sites. Only improvement we could suggest would be air conditioning in the vehicle and just a bit longer at each spot.

The tour company was very accommodating, allowing us to change our date because of a flight delay. It covered many of the highlights of Terceira Island. The lunch that was included was very good. The tour would be better if the guide provided more information about each of the stops.

Rafaella picked our group of 7 up at the airport, took us on a great tour, and then dropped us off at our hotel as requested. We were so happy with the tour that we arranged another tour for later in the week. Communication between our group the tour company (TuriAzores) was excellent.

Enjoyed this tour so much. Our guide was terrific and very knowledgeable on the history which enhanced the tour and our appreciation of the country. I recommend this to anyone who has limited time and hire this expert to show you the beauty of Terceira.

We booked our tour on the last minute when our ship got diverted to Terceira due to high seas. We've traveled with Viator many times and this tour was very good. Small bus with only 7 customers -- not 40+ on ship tour at almost twice the price. Small van could go where big buses couldn't. Chris was an outstanding guide.

We had a great time. The company was very accommodating considering ugh it was a morning tour versus and afternoon tour. We saw the island and experienced the algar do carvao. A must see. Cristina was so k owledgeable, fun, and pleasant to be with. A great experience.

Our guide and driver Tanya provided an excellent half-day tour of Terceira. Although new to the company and not an Azorian, she was knowledgeable and informative. Tanya is multilingual, interested in hearing about her clients’ experiences, responsive and personable. We particularly enjoyed Biscoitos with the natural swimming pools. Thank you, Tanya for a fine tour and best of luck in your career!

<p>Once ashore Duard was there on the quayside waiting. there were only 4 of us compared to the busloads on the Cruise excursion. Duard took us all over the island and was very knowledgeable. even when the weather was nbad he persevered to ensure we got the best views. so many good venues but possibly the best was the wine and jam tasting at the Simas Winery. After passing the droves of Cunarders visiting a more public winery like sheep ours felt so relaxed. Overall and excellent tour and strongly recommended.</p>

<p>The tour itself- what we got to see was good. I wish we had more time to swim. The 1 thing I did not like was the van that we toured in kept not starting. Thank goodness that our guide was patient and super friendly- that she would keep us entertained until the van restarted. Someone also called her from their company and you could hear them yelling at her through the phone that they needed the van which she was trying to give us a good tour and we were running behind because of the van issues</p>
